Holy shit. Lindsey Graham is going through some things.

Hello. ProPublica has unionized. We are a wall-to-wall union of reporters, editors, business and communications staff across the nation who are dedicated to investigative journalism in the public interest. propublicaguild.org

Hey hey! We're so thrilled (along with thousands of other NewsGuild of New York members) to welcome ProPublica Guild to our union! We echo their call for management to immediately recognize them and get to bargaining!

We’re so excited to share that our union unanimously voted YES to ratify our contract today!🥳 This contract secures HUGE wins for our union, including a $65k salary minimum, just cause, layoff moratorium through the end of the year, $400,000+ healthcare reimbursements, & more!

As members of NYTimesGuild, we are baffled and infuriated by the Times proposal to dissolve our storied and award-winning Sports department. This announcement is a profound betrayal of our colleagues and of Times values.

Times leadership is attempting to outsource union jobs on our sports desk to a non-union Times subsidiary under the preposterous argument that The Times can “subcontract” its sports coverage to itself.

Management gave the Guild virtually no notice of this change. Many members learned of the company’s decision in a Times news alert that popped up on our phones minutes into a meeting called to inform sports staff of our department’s dissolution.

The timing is all the more maddening because the company’s announcement has been months in the making. As our Sports colleagues wrote to management in a letter last weekend, The Times has left its sports staff twisting in the wind for 18 months over its plans for The Athletic.

The company has weighed decisions about the future of Times sports coverage without any solicitation of our expertise. Instead, our concerns and repeated requests for clarity were met with silence, obfuscation or buck-passing.

Just a month ago, the Times Guild won the strongest agreement in our unit’s recent history, thanks to the unwavering solidarity of our members. We know that when we stand together, we can win a real voice in our workplace.

We will fight this flagrant attempt at union-busting with every tool we have. And we will work with our members in Sports to defend their rights under our union contract. Our standard is clear: Union work at The Times Company is performed by union workers.

How about a spelling bee instead of a debate?

We welcome our New York Times Tech Guild colleagues back from their election week ULP strike. We stand in unwavering solidarity with them as they continue to fight for a fair and just contract.
